Online correspondence is immediate; the quick click of a button can send an e-mail to anyone with a personal e-mail account. This allows an artist to reach any music label or agent and vise versa. E-mail gives an artist the ability to send their music and photos to large amounts of record labels at one time without paying for postage.

This is new technology that is being molded into what the average Gen-Y consumer enjoys.
